Hi

I am designing a panel which will have 24 output fields. I will take input from field @PMESG and will go to database. I will get some rows and I have to show them in this panel. The number of fetched rows may be from 0 to any. I have to fill first 24 rows in the output variables and throw the panel. For that I used output variables as ME01, ME02.... ME24.

Can not I use indexed variable (arrays) for this output variables. Its very combusome in my rexx coding to fill or initialize these output variables.

Thanks in advance

Psridhar,

why not use stem variables?

Hi

Thank you very much for the answer.

If I say ME.1 as output variable in the panel, it says

"Variable 'ME.1' is syntactically incorrect."

Please help...

Consider using the "interpret" command.

If you have a stem variable "me" and your panel variables are defined as ME1, ME2...ME24 then you can initialise them like this:

I got that back to front. The code above will copy the data from the panel variables to your stem variable. The code below will go the other way.
